SkinMedica Chemical Peels

Light

A light peel—sometimes referred to as a “lunchtime peel,” thanks to its brief treatment time—is a great way to address more superficial skin issues. This type of peel can be applied in just a few minutes and typically doesn’t require any downtime. You’ll see relief from issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of mild facial aging.

Medium

A medium chemical peel goes just a bit deeper than a light peel, making it ideal for scarring, uneven texture, rough patches, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or skin tone issues. This type of peel is formulated with acids like Vitamin C, Retin-A, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and requires some mild downtime after the treatment is over.

Intense

Deeper peels are ideal for addressing more moderate to severe issues and will treat your skin down to its deeper layers. You’ll enjoy more dramatic results but will also have a slightly longer recovery period thanks to the deeper treatment. We’ll help you understand what your recovery process will be like, and will provide you with thorough aftercare instructions.

What are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels offer a multitude of advantages for those looking to rejuvenate their skin and achieve a radiant complexion. Chemical peels work by eliminating dead skin cells and encouraging the growth of new ones, effectively tackling various skin issues and giving you a rejuvenated, youthful glow. Here are some of the remarkable benefits you can experience with chemical peels:

  • Revitalized Skin Texture: Achieve smoother, softer skin that feels as good as it looks.
  • Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Minimize the signs of aging with a treatment that promotes collagen production and skin elasticity.
  • Clearer Complexion: Effectively treat acne and reduce the appearance of acne scars for a blemish-free look.
  • Enhanced Radiance: Enjoy a healthy glow that reflects your inner vitality and boosts your confidence.
  • Improved Skin Clarity: Say goodbye to dull, tired-looking skin and hello to a clearer, more vibrant appearance.

Chemical Peels FAQ

How far in advance should I get a chemical peel before a big event like a wedding or photoshoot?

Will a chemical peel hurt, and how does the sensation compare between light, medium, and deep peels?

Will a chemical peel help with strawberry skin or keratosis pilaris on the face?

Can chemical peels cause permanent skin lightening or bleaching?

Should I get a chemical peel before or after filler and Botox appointments?

How far in advance should I get a chemical peel before a big event like a wedding or photoshoot?

For a light peel, schedule at least one to two weeks before your event. For a medium peel, plan for three to four weeks minimum. You never want to try a new peel for the first time right before something important.

Will a chemical peel hurt, and how does the sensation compare between light, medium, and deep peels?

Peels containing salicylic or lactic acid can help by dissolving the keratin buildup that causes KP, smoothing the skin's texture over a series of treatments. Because KP is a chronic condition, maintenance sessions will be needed to keep results consistent.

Will a chemical peel help with strawberry skin or keratosis pilaris on the face?

Chemical peels should be done at least two weeks after Botox or filler, as the increased skin permeability can interfere with product placement and results. If you're planning both, schedule your injectables first and let everything settle before your peel.

Can chemical peels cause permanent skin lightening or bleaching?

Most patients describe light peels as a mild tingling or warmth that fades within minutes. Medium peels feel more intense but are very manageable, and deeper peels are performed with numbing to keep you comfortable throughout.

Should I get a chemical peel before or after filler and Botox appointments?

When performed correctly, chemical peels should not cause permanent lightening. They even out tone rather than bleach the skin. However, improper use or overly aggressive treatment on deeper skin tones can cause hypopigmentation, which is why choosing an experienced provider is essential.
